Robin Finck and Alessandro Cortini of Nine Inch Nails detail their high-tech rigs that include a formidable army of custom axes, sophisticated wireless MIDI and digital presets paired with analog effects, all streamlined to help them create intricate, scorching industrial rock soundscapes.
Reverend guitars have become Robin Finck’s go-to 6-strings in the past year. This wine red flame-maple Sensei has Joe Naylor Railhammer pickups, a bass contour for molding pickup voice, and a stoptail bridge.
Robin Finck’s favorite Reverend model is the Charger with Humcutter pickups, a bass contour, and stoptail bridge. This is Finck’s No. 1 personal guitar, which he plays in the hotel, dressing room, and on the bus. He has a gray version at home.
Alessandro Cortini has played synthesizers with NIN in the past, but on this tour he’s playing both guitar and bass. Cortini plays in two tunings during the current NIN set: standard and drop D. His main bass in standard is a custom Telemaster bass, which is the first one Fender has ever built. It has Jazz and Precision pickups and a unique blue relic finish.

That background “vacuum” noise, random drum tuning and the palpable awkwardness have made this officially a NIN B-side
😂😂😂
I went on a date like this once
LOL how bad!
did you show her your hum cutter?
LOLOL!
Haha - been there.
I've been there more than once
When you agree to do an interview, but the acid kicks in early.
Ha!
Gold
Exactly
Seriously.
“Which songs do you play this on?”
“I play this on... a number of songs.”
Watch this at 1.25 speed. You're welcome.
Thank you sooo much. It makes the Robin portion watchable.
Yes, this made it way better, thanks!
Genius - it actually sounds more natural now! :D
But that takes away its vital ASMR quality which helps me fall asleep
Cheers, it's like Pre-Coffee > Post-Coffee
I hope J Mascis and Robin Finck make a band together so we can get a 3 hours rig rundown.
Daniel Martínez Giraldo I wish I could like this over and over. So funny and true.
Lol 😂
Yes! And every single second would be worth it. I have loved Mascis forever and now I love this guy even more than I used to.
LOL!
J Marcus and Finck would be a great band!
This feels like a guy trying to explain his rig to an IRS auditor.
Lol that's accurate
LOL, soo true.
Iberville Music hahaha
Iberville Music this made me laugh “out loud” for a while.
Yeah
This shit is lame.
The tour ended before the rig rundown was finished
Although I was frustrated a little at the pace of the first interview, I am wondering whether it was done on purpose; Robin is known to be a very private and shy guy, and maybe Tessa figured that the more space she gave him, the more comfortable he'd feel. He hardly ever gives interviews, and I was so stoked to see all his gear. Thanks for filming this PG!
Nick Mead - good point. It’s easy to judge, but maybe she did really well considering who she was interviewing.
Ya, I kinda feel like she was slow playing him haha to get him to talk more.
He must be an amazing guitarist 🤷♂️
@@Starch1b2c3d4a from different planet. Also try his masterpiece solos in Chinese democracy!
She handled the interview as well as possible. He's just a strange, introverted dude.
I don't care how awkward Robin Finck seems, it's still awsome to listen to him. He is such a genius musician!
he really is
Robin is such a real artist
He was sniffin and move the legs like a shy person with anxiety
A real human, not fake
Am I the only one who loves how shy Robin is at the beginning? The social interaction around the 6 minute mark when Tessa asks the very intelligent and personal question, “Isn’t that one of your things...part of your playing that you use feedback?” is where you finally see Robin relax. Tessa did an amazing job, she let the artist speak on behalf of their gear which was great, good work PG!
thanks for that comment !
glad I saw this, people watching the first couple minutes and judging the near hour of footage on it (I would have been doing the same)
I love everything about him. His wife is a lucky woman. From a fellow introvert💞💕💖. If I met him I wouldn't be able to speak
It's really great to hear him talk about all the love for his guitars ❤
I'm an introvert, so I think Robin is so cute. Jelous, she gets a hug from him it went on too long for him at the original. He looked at the camera as if to say help me
Honestly this feels completely real. No show, no game. The more I grow, the more I appreciate this.
Robin is a really shy guy, very rarely does any interviews, so it’s great to see this. It’s not the best rig rundown but at least he’s doing it and not his guitar tech. Big fan of his playing regardless.
Edit - his tech does speak...
I love Robin so much. The fact that he really doesn't care about all the specs and technical stuff and more about just what guitar sounds like the way he wants to express the emotion of the song is interesting to me. That's how it sounds when he plays. You're feeling it, not just hearing it.
Compared to what other guitar players have said who played/worked for Trent Reznor he also doesn’t care about making good money😂
His signature Schecter is really nice as well. Sadly never got to buy one but always enjoyed playing it
@@someoneelse101 I’m sure like everything else they occasionally pop up on the used market. That’s what reverb is all about
"I want the guitar to have emotion while I am playing behind Trent singing, 'I wanna fuck you like an animal!!!'" LOL
Everybody's talking shit, nobody noticed Robin "refused" to shake hands and gave her a hug instead!
You can tell he was sick at the time. I doubt he wanted to shake anyone's hand after dealing with a runny nose when giving an interview for 40 minutes.
Who cares?
It's just observational humor. It was a good interview! I know next to nothing about NIN now. I really dug a lot of the early stuff and my son has introduced newer songs that I really dig. I wouldn't be too upset. I didn't know who Robin is and appreciate him more and funny is good!
I don't think the initial awkwardness is either person's fault, it's just that neither of them are bubbly people. In reality, they probably felt pretty comfortable together. Right away, this guy felt comfortable enough to take these big long pauses trying to get his brain working and she was comfortable enough to just let the silence sit there and give him his space. After a few minutes, you can see it's just a no-nonsense discussion of his gear, which he has difficulty putting into words but she is good at prying something out of him. I get the feeling if she didn't ask questions he would just be like, "Here's my guitar...and here's my other guitar...and here's my other guitar..." which is kind of pointless. I think people here are just used to Rebecca Dirks being more fangirlish and the guitarists eating it up because they like attention from young women.
Yeah ! I was surprised it lasted that long.
What man doesn't like attention from pretty young women?
@@joedarrow5422 oh, I'm sure plenty of men wouldn't, but that's beside the point.
@@joedarrow5422 He’s gotta be on drugs or didn’t get enough sleep.
Actually, the longer I watched the interview I found the interaction between the two very interesting. It was fascinating watching the interviewer gently bringing Robin out of his shell. She did an excellent job! And it was really cool that he gave her a hug at the end!
I would love to see how Robin and Trent communicate on a daily basis.
😂. They used to argue a lot but now I have no idea. Lol
I expect after all the years they have a connection. Trent can probably read his body language
Tessa did fine. Robin's speaking style has a cadence that results in interviewer and interviewee inadvertently talking at the same time. No big deal. We still received a good rundown of his guitars, and his tech Lonnie provided a nice succinct summary of the signal path.
Finck: "I use this guitar cause it has Sustainiac pickup, it's for a specific song" Tessa: "hm.. so what do you like about the Sustainiac pickup? and is it your main guitar?" No, dude, Tessa didn't do fine :D I'm not saying we should nail her to a cross.. I just wish the usual Premier guys would do this :) the ones that actually play guitar and has real in depth knowledge :)
@@Tashkis Robin made it awkward. Interruptive and all. Time and again.
That moment at 23:40 when she asks "if he wants to talk about it" like his therapist...
Her effort in this interview is applauded
Finck and Buckethead together was my favorite band of all time when they were in Guns together
Miss both of them
Hey guys i'm reading all these comments ,it was my first time doing a rig rundown for PG don't be so mean, hope next time i will be better for you. Take Care ! :)
Tessa? Good job.
You did excellent to get so much info from Robin. Good job.
Why does your name say J. Richie? That's confusing. Also, I think that you came across a bit disinterested, I'm not saying that you were by any means, but I think that it might have helped if you maybe repeated what he said to you back to him and followed up with a question then it could have flowed a bit more smoothly. I think the question choice was great, but maybe working on the flow and pace of the interview would have been good.
@@ThatOtherRaccoon Well i'm a construction worker now, soooo.... yeah...
@@j.richie3558 wait what??? I was starting to go through the other rig runs to see if there was another episode with you in it.
Why is Alessandro the most charismatic guy to ever live?
Dakotah Rivers maybe because he isn’t?
Seems like a super cool dude!
I think he's italian
Compared to Robin , he could be asleep and be charismatic
THE RIG RUNDOWN
ISN’T THAT WHAT YOU WANTED
Genius comment.
We've been waiting 19 years to make this comment.
THEY TRIED SO HARD TO MAKE THE PIECES ALL FIT
Haha brilliant!!
there's no guitar you can show
no effects you can hide
Man everyone with rude comments needs to stop.
This is the very Nine Inch Nails rig rundown these guys hardly ever do setup interviews talking about their rigs.
The past few years they broke from their shyness shell give fans inside look.
And now they are going back to the old way
Whatever, if people don't appreciate this, it's their loss. Really good stuff despite the Eraserhead soundtrack on the background.
All the more reason to send the A team
And WHO made you the internet monitor for PG?
In other words
Stfu
ITT: people making excuses for a rockstar for acting like he’s recovering from a drug binge complete with sniffles. Some advice: the tech can do the rundown if the guitar player can’t be bothered.
Love Robin work, so underrated, is definitevely not a big youtube influencer, too humble for this , but on stage is a monster and fit NIN perfectly, his sound and dynamic are brilliant.
This is so awkwardly awesome, please make a sequel video EVERY WEEK. This could even be a TV sitcom
What people don't realize is that interviewing Fink about gear would be like doing it with Jonny Greenwood, shy people that really don't try to sell any of their image or their gear
What? You make it sound like RR is populated by salesmen trying to sell you their signature gear. While the brave ones like Finck...
Nop, i don't mean that, but these guys just don't get excited talking about their gear.
I would, there is nothing wrong with it.
I just mean that they are pretty shy with interviews, and more if it is about gear.
With that being said, forgive for sounding like a hispter hahaha, i just ment that guys like Fink just get all shy with their gear because they don't see themselves as badass guitar hero with cool gear (i guess)
Then don't interview them if they don't like it, simple.
Ok, you can tell that to PG hahaha, i just gave my opinnion, nothing else
Don't ask me why but I absolutely love Finck's interview!
"Were you classically trained?"
"Noooooooooooo."
"Tee-hee."
He sounds and looks like a David Lynch from a paralleluniverse
The honesty and pure representations on all parties was refreshing and amazing. I don't want canned and rehearsed hyper media trained interactions. This was so real, and was a solid glimpse into some of the most talented artists of our generation. Well done.
Robin is not exactly shy, he's very calm ( as many yoga and meditation people) and also has such a soft way of talking. A sweet gentleman may say. Along with Billy Howerdel my fav guitar player. I love him💕
This is by far the best and funniest rig rundown ever. I stopped watching them because they became quite boring and repetitive but this is golden. I have not laughed so hard in a while. Robin rules.
This shit is funny...
Tessa did a good job. Robin is not easy to interview. Chris might have a been more upbeat, but would still sound forced. And you see the difference with Alessandro. Way more easy to interview. Love Robin's work but he's a tough guy to interview for sure.
Congrats Tessa. (And for all of you saying she's never done this before, clearly you didn't watch these in the past).
There all bad at interviewing!!
Especially John bollinger !!
There so frigging awkward
@@tylernol8890 I disagree completely. All of them are good. This was purely a Robin Finck issue, not a Tessa issue.
Oh really, you must be a millennial like her.
@@Nostaljack You sound triggered.
It needs editing.
I loved this dude in GNR
I love how awkward and uncomfortable he seemed during this. When she said "which guitar did you want to talk about now?" She was trying so hard to get him to talk. She did a really good job but you can tell he didn't really know how to talk about his gear. He seems really smart, just awkward lol
it was a perfectly fine interview. the dude is a great artist, not a clown entertainer
I had a root canal on Wednesday and that was easier to get through.
comment of the week.
So glad I found this comment
Lmao
From a dentist I found this comment to be awesome!
Shit bro robin was so nervous.
Damn, I've probably met Alessandro many times when I was a little kid without even knowing who he was at the time. It's so crazy when you think that the guitarist from Nine Inch Nails is from the same city where I went to school every day.
I actually enjoyed the contrast between the two interviews. Finck is an amazing artist and it was cool to hear him talk about his rig. Alessandro is a trip! You can tell he loves the nuts 'n bolts of how gear works and sounds. I think Tessa did a great job.
It's so much easier to watch Cortini's part
robin really is quite a unique character XD hes a beautiful man & a severely underrated guitar player. extremly passionate. its completely a part of him.
I love Robin, but I think this is the first interview I've really heard him speak about his craft and gear. Surprising that he doesn't highlight the songs that he plays nightly or with which guitars he uses (other than a few). He must have a hell of a recall memory the night of each show. Really good to hear from Alessandro, too. It's no wonder how he got within Trent's circle with a passion for synths and multi-instruments the way he has.
Yeah Alessandro is a very cool guy. After watching a bunch of vids with him I felt the same -- I'm like ahhh ok now it makes sense why Trent hired him so quick. His music is fantastic. He has an uncanny ability to get feel from noise.
Shut up. It's Robin Finck. This man is a fucking legend.
His conversational spacing is off… He’s on drugs or didn’t sleep well. Probably one or the other or both.
His quirkiness is a good quality and it shows in his approach to playing.
The release of tension when the camera switched to Alessandro lmao
I like how thoughtful he is. He listens and thinks before answering. Y'all should take a lesson from his style of speaking.
He knows how to play it, that seems more important to me, he’s not a salesperson...
@WORST CHANNEL EVER he's known to be a very shy guy. Although it totally seems like he's clueless, I remember when I was shy, I would struggle to speak what I could think. He probably knows everything, but it's too shy to get it out.
Awesome of Robin for taking the time. The gear is amazing. Thank you.
Alessandro is pretty used to doing media interviews so he helped redeem this episode. Among us synth addicts Alessando is considered a high priest. He knows his guitars, too.
They were married shortly after.
Gay
JaJaJa
Whilst I like the idea of Fluff doing rig rundowns, I can´t help but to symaphize with Tessa here. If I was to be thrown into the situation she has to deal with here (doing a "professional" gear rundown with pro musicians for what seems to be the first time) I´d completely choke, especially with NIN who are one of the best examples of what PRO means with them making use of whatever modern technology becomes available to them. All things considered - she did a good job. Keep going please and don´t let the haters get to you....
It's not her first time and she did fine. It was Robin that wasn't really there for it. She's been better with others.
I couldn't disagree more, that is not a good job that was a train wreck
I miss this guy in GN'R
You're not the only one. Robin was magic in Gn'R and his live playing made him by far my favorite guitarist.
He was INCREDIBLE in GnR.
He wrote some of the best stuff on Chinese Democracy
Robin is a hero in our house. My husband is a massive guitar geek. He tells me all about the guitars and custom . There is only one guitar of bands we've seen he couldn't name QOTSA.
But we love Robin ❤️ we're both introverts, so I tell how uncomfortable he is at times. I know exactly how he felt. So sweet. It was lovely listening to him x on the first cut she wouldn't let go off of Robin. They've cut it now. I'd be the same. I'm cuddling Robin Finck and no I'm not letting go. Im also whispering inappropriate things in his ear like my hotel room number
An articulate and lovely interviewer and a couple of social misfit professional musicians. Excellent and informative rig run down as always, thank you Premier Guitar.
I really liked this one-I know nothing of the band but this is one of my favorites RRs. Both artists were great interviews in their own way. What a great bass (telemaster)!
That was great - I love Alessandro. Such an all-round great player and funny guy! haha
Watch at 0.5 speed for the most high interview ever.
Michael Tronson Bahahahahaha!!!
Holy shit, so glad I'm drunk and saw this comment. It's like a Tim and Eric episode
OMG - when he says "This Baritone isn't tuned to B its (wait forever and look clueless at 1/2 speed) C??????????????? I cried
Haahahahahahahaha fucked up!!
This made my life.
Robin Finck is cool. I like him. Always have been fascinated by his stage presence
I've always loved Robin's playing style. It suits NIN perfectly. Also he has probably the sickest guitar collection in the WORLD. That Manson tho....
Robin is a very important member of the band! I'm just trying to imitate some of his sounds to put into my song and this video has been very useful, thanks.
I have no clue what 2/3 of the stuff Alessandro talked about, but goddamnit it was awesome.
It started out as awkward as a sow in reverse, but I rather warmed to the chap after a while. Actually a really fascinating interview. Kudos to Tessa.
This is considered a classic now, like The Office
Great rig rundown, no kidding.
Was awesome to see the guys' gear 🤘
When you only have an hour to squeeze in a 15 minute interview
FInck had the batteries dying on him. Cortini the usual gentleman, of course.
12:38 he was really enthusiastic for like 2 seconds then totally forgot what he was gonna say and went back to the awkward fumble through... poor guy
Me in a nutshell
He was thrilled
Went to high-school with Rob and hung out with our old crew all the time....recall the Bat Your Lashes days as well. He still looks young (LOL).
I give her credit for trying. Let’s see her do a few more videos. She has big shoes to fill. But she doesn’t seem like a gear nerd. I agree Ryan Bruce would be awesome at this job. You need people that are excited for just the gear and the interviews are a perk
She has made a pile of them. She has been making them for years, just not many lately.
"Rig Rundown" for touring bands = here is my axe fx. There you go, you never need to watch another 'rig rundown'
1:55 LOLOLOL!
She moves on to the next question, he keeps adding semi-unrelated info for the first question! This is hilarious.
He's gotta be doing that on purpose.
ive been waiting for this for far too long
oh...awkward
Alessandro seems like an awesome dude.
maybe the first rig rundown with an italian guy, so proud of alessandro cortini :D :D
the kind of interviewee you just listen to... he'll tell you what you need to know. nothing more. nothing less. the man's a legend.
The way he said, "you just did" made me literally lol.
im glad you are trying out new people for rundowns but this was just awkward
Yeah I think Tessa works for the magazine, right? Does the RRs occasionally. It's just different from the other three. It was fine! Robin is pretty shy I believe, and she got of hug of him!
It’s definitely the dude’s fault. What a weirdo
@@pkeepfer - Yeah... Like for one he doesn't seem to know his own gear. Which I think threw her off.. he'd give a short answer and as she starts to ask a different question, he starts to ramble. Awwkward 😂
She is fine, looks more like a heroin issue going on
@@davidpaul6656 he did seem a little high but I guess when you have that much gear and a tech it gets hard to keep up with
Wow, they sure hit it off.
this exchange is a masterpiece of awkwardness and the sheer disrespect of all the testing of drums, police sirens and train noise in the background takes it to a whole other level. a beautiful video.
I asked for this 5 years ago! Thanks PG!!!
Robin is really sweet.
Robin: I play one guitar at a time.
Tessa (interviewer): in shock says Really?!
Time: 35:08
Like, at that point...it looked like they were about to go on a date or something.
@@WessStewart omg! 😂 😂 😂
Glad to see how it evolved to both of them being more relaxed. Do you wanna see the slide? He started enjoying the interview in his own way.
Robin is one of the most talented guitarists out there today. It's something special to hear him click with Buckethead, or even other guitarists like the duet from GNR, "Beautiful". Once he gets comfortable with an interviewer, he's a really laid back guy, and has a wonderful, descriptive voice. Cool cat, all around!
5 minutes in and I completely understand why this is an hour long.
O Robin ficou parecendo eu tentando ser sociável.
I just love NIN so much, i watch it all to the end and don't stop smiling and laughing..
The most wholesome moment of the interview, when he asks her if she wants to see the slide and her immediate affirmative response.
This is a great unintentional ASMR video!
You need to lead the interview. The interviewee shouldn't have to worry about where to go next.
The hum in the background really makes the video.
sirens too
Alessandro had me wanting a Telemaster bass as he showed the guitar... then he pulls one out - so nice!
Alessandro is so cool :-)
She makes Rebecca Dirks look like the Michael Jordan of Rig Rundown. Rebecca needs to be paid like a billion dollars to come back.
also she got boobs too
This is an outlier, even so Rebecca is better than the entire stable of guys that do the interviews
Its like.Robin Finck caught in the act by his wife buying alot of gears and try to explain and calm her down 😅
Brilliant questioning of a legend.
